Pete Hegseth is “very likely” to be impeached over his handling of the Iran war, according to a senior Republican.

Senator Ted Cruz said “the votes are there” to sanction the self-style Secretary of State for War.

But Cruz said he believed Hegseth will either stand down voluntarily or be sacked by Donald Trump before then.

Republican Congressman Thomas Massie introduced eight articles of impeachment against Hegseth on Monday.

    Because Republicans controlled Congress and the Oval and let him…

    That’s why he’s being impeached, it’s not that he did horrible shit, he did it without approval.

    There’s just as much grounds to impeach the president and House/Senate majority leadership for letting him do it.

    Your could have this much power over the military as long as everyone with authority just lets you and says people have to do what you say.
